CHICAGO, IL — Are you struggling with a legal issue? Cook County residents in need of some free, expert legal advice can get help from the Chicago Bar Association. Attorneys with CBA’s Call-A-Lawyer Program will be on standby to take calls from the public at 312-554-2001 from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Feb. 15.

Calls will be accepted February 15 from 9 a.m. to noon at 312-554-2001.

Cook County residents can call in and briefly explain their situation to an attorney, who will then work to suggest self-help strategies or provide advice to help resolve their issues. If callers require further legal services or have questions beyond the scope of the attorney’s practice area, they will be advised to contact the CBA Lawyer Referral Service during the week. Callers will be referred to an attorney in the appropriate area of law.

In operation since 1940, the CBA’s Lawyer Referral Service has more than 200 lawyers available who are experienced in more than 40 areas of law and speak several languages. LRS attorneys provide counsel in areas that include consumer protection, personal injury, domestic relations, estate planning, real estate, and employment law, among other
areas of practice.
